Chapter 220: Making Up for the Dead

Governor Chen couldn't even say a word, these books were completely burned off a small half of the outer layer, the middle layer was damaged countless, and some of the inner layers were not burned, but they were wet with water, Governor Chen squatted on the ground, pulling the dust, trembling and picking up a book from the ground, the handwriting on it was pasted by water, and it was already blurred.

"Why is it on fire?" Governor Chen trembled his hands and muttered to himself.

None of them replied to him, and the two guards bowed their heads in shame.

Governor Chen became more and more angry, "Say, how did you two guard it?" Good and decent, why is it on fire! ”

"Master, we don't know." The two of them heard President Chen's reproach, and hurriedly prostrate on the ground, "We are guarding here well, and suddenly we heard a knock on the door, so we went out to check, but no one saw it, but the room was closed, and when we turned around, the door was locked, and we saw the fire inside, and knocked the door open, so we immediately called someone......"

The two briefly explained the cause and effect, the more President Chen listened, the more incredible he felt, the more confused he became, and finally his brain became a mess, he stretched out a foot and kicked the two of them to the ground, and went out angrily.

In his eyes, these books were not eight hundred taels, but thousands of taels of silver, but now, they were destroyed in a burn, and the anger and hatred in his heart can be imagined.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Liu Man'er, Liu Man'er has already walked to the door with Shuai Shuai at this moment.

Before she entered the door, she heard a gentle cry, and she panicked inexplicably, so she hurriedly ran to her house, and when she ran to the door, she was about to push the door in, but she heard Fang's voice coaxing the child, she quickly stopped, found a place, hurriedly took off the night clothes on her body, and then cleaned up again, and then pushed the door in.

"Mother, why are you here?" Pretending to be nothing, Liu Man'er walked to the bedside, she picked up Rourou, and said: "Oh, my little Rourou, what are you crying about, my mother is just going to the thatched house, why are you crying like this, are you hungry?" ”

"I must have been hungry, crying so fiercely, I almost woke up Tianchen." Fang Clan snorted and asked, "Where have you been?" ”

"Thatched huts." Liu Man'er said: "I was so happy to go out today, I ate some snacks on the street, and I came back with a stomachache. ”

Hearing Liu Man'er's explanation, Fang was skeptical, and only said: "You child, you are all mothers, how can you still be like a child, you must have self-control, most of the things on the street are spicy, the taste is too heavy, and you should not eat more." ”

"Got it." Liu Man'er hugged Rourou, and while gesturing to breastfeed her, she said, "Mother, it's okay to have me here, you can go back and rest first." ”

"Okay, then I'll go back." Fang Shi nodded, although there were some strange beads of sweat on her head in her heart, she still went back to rest.

Liu Man'er took back the night clothes she had hidden outside, closed the door, sat on the bed, glanced at Zhenghuan who was eating in her arms, and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately not being discovered by the Fang clan.

found a handkerchief and wiped her face, she found that she was already sweating profusely, and she was quite helpless, after giving birth to a child, her physique was really too poor, just when she came back, she ran for a while, and she would sweat so much, it was really weak.

In the future, you have to exercise your body, the body is the capital of the revolution, Liu Man'er decided to re-train her physique, you know, she used to be a strange little fool in the village, and now she sweats so much when she runs for a while.

I was planning for the future time, but my body unconsciously fell asleep on the bed with the child in my arms.

The next day, the sun was warm and the spring breeze was just right.

Liu Man'er really remembered the promise she made to herself yesterday, got up today, had breakfast, and exercised in the yard.

She was running with a sandbag strapped to her feet, and the weather in April was very pleasant. However, at this time, Han Shixin ran from behind her, "The owner, the owner......"

"What's wrong?" Liu Man'er slowed down a bit so that Han Shixin could catch up with her.

"The owner." Han Shixin's panting voice was getting closer and closer to Liu Man'er, and Liu Man'er asked while standing still, "What's wrong?" This morning, you are sweating profusely, is something going on? ”

"Big deal." Han Shixin panted and said: "That Governor Chen came over early this morning, and he came to us to buy books again, and asked us to print 30,000 books in three days, and said to give us 1,000 taels of silver." ”

"Hmm." Liu Man'er nodded and continued to jog forward.

Seeing Liu Man'er running away again, Han Shixin also ran to catch up, and said, "Dongjia, what do you say about this?" Can we pick it up? If you take it, I'm afraid that he will have some conspiracy, if you don't take it, this is a thousand taels of silver, and with this money, our debts can almost be paid off. ”

Han Shixin's words were full of joy, Liu Man'er couldn't help but slow down, until she finally stopped completely, she turned to Han Shixin who was following her and said, "I said Uncle Han, what are you afraid of when you have money to earn?" The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, afraid of a ball! ”

"Yes, yes, you're right!" Han Shixin clapped his hands and sighed, and said, "Then I'll go and tell President Chen later, and we will say that we agreed to this matter." ”

"Wait!" Seeing Han Shixin's happy face, Liu Man'er shook her head helplessly and said, "I said Uncle Han, don't worry, I just want to ask you one question now, can we print 30,000 books in three days?" ”

"This ......"

Listening to Liu Man'er say this, Han Shixin remembered the key point, the key to the matter is really not whether President Chen will have a conspiracy, but whether they can print so many books.

"I want to figure out a way, and it should be possible." The new Korean terrier heads back.

"Heh......" Liu Man'er chuckled, beckoned Han Shixin to sit down on the stone bench on the side, and said, "What can you do?" You can sum up with me, and if you can, you will take the order. ”

"Owner, I wonder if we can hire more short-term workers and let them help, as long as there are more people, three days is not a problem." Han Shixin helped Liu Man'er to sit on the stone bench, but he didn't sit, but just crossed his hands and stood aside.

"Okay, people are not a problem, I will put aside confidentiality first, what about tools? You can buy even ink or something, but what about our prints? How to buy our print blanks? For a while, I'm afraid I can't burn such a pottery word, even if you temporarily replace it with wood, all of a sudden, who will carve? ”

"This ......" the Korean style muttered, always feeling that these can be solved.

"I know what you're thinking, it's not a problem, the question is, have you ever calculated how much it costs to hire someone to carve in a short period of time? There are many more than we print, otherwise, President Chen himself can also let people engrave engravings, so why bother! ”

He didn't listen to what he said before, however, he really listened to the latter sentence, and he was a little ashamed in his heart, after living for so many years, he was still so easy to like and irritable, and it was better for a little girl to be calm.

"Then I'll go and turn him down." The Korean style of the new straightened up, ready to go.

"What's the hurry?" Liu Man'er stopped him, also stood up, and walked to Han Shixin's side: "Think more about everything, don't rush to promise others, otherwise it is easy to fall into the trap of others, you can't extricate yourself, or you have paid sweat, but the bamboo basket is empty." ”

"I see." Han Shixin nodded.

Liu Man'er said again: "Don't veto him all at once, ask him if he can give him some time, and if he can, make plans again." ”

"Hmm." Uncle Han nodded, seeing that Liu Man'er was thoughtful, he felt more and more ashamed.

After Han Shixin left, Liu Man'er stood up and continued to start her own exercise plan.

After sweating, Liu Man'er felt much refreshed, and after washing up, Liu Man'er was feeding the child while thinking about President Chen.

Yesterday, I heard the caretaker say that it seems that President Chen is also going to deliver the goods, could it be that he has already started the supplier business? Or is he himself posing as a manufacturer? Otherwise, why are you in a hurry to find new Korean-style goods?

No matter, anyway, in this way, it is a seller's market again, and Han Shixin did not mention to her the matter of President Chen's water at home last night, which shows that President Chen does not want to make this matter public, and he can't speak up after suffering a loss, which is really pitiful, and Liu Man'er has some sympathy for him.

But sympathy is sympathy, who made him want to calculate her first? Since this is the case, then don't blame her for being ruthless, delivering 30,000 yuan in three days, President Chen is in a hurry to do this, I don't know if the other shopkeepers of the bookstore know that this batch of books has been burned? If you know, I don't know what kind of expressions they will have.

Tut-tut, Liu Man'er is really a little curious, she even thinks about whether to probe the tone of other shopkeepers, or let them know some rumors.

However, let's wait for Han Shixin to come back, see how things go, maybe when Han Shixin comes back, she can learn more things, and then she will be able to adapt to the situation.

Shaking her head and no longer thinking about President Chen, Liu Man'er put Rourou, who had fallen asleep, on the bed, and showed a trace of warmth in her heart, "You, you, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, I really envy you." ”

After a gentle kiss on Rourou's forehead, Liu Man'er turned around and went to the kitchen, Yun Niang was cooking on the fire, and when she saw Liu Man'er coming, she said hello to her, "Man'er, you're here." ”

"Hehe, I have something to come over to trouble you, please make a chicken at noon today, and leave a chicken leg for Shuai Shuai, I promised it yesterday." She didn't forget the big chicken leg she promised to give the handsome hand hand yesterday, so she came over to tell Yun Niang a few words.

"Okay." Yun Niang didn't ask much, but just put down the tongs in her hand as Liu Man'er instructed, ready to kill chickens and pluck their feathers.
